Forretress Team Builder

Forretress is a Gen 2 Bug / Steel Pokemon. In this team builder, it is best treated as a wall, coverage, or support option while you check how the rest of the team covers its weaknesses. Start with Forretress, then use the builder to see what teammates help cover the rough spots.
